Commercial Description:
Climb on in and grab a paddle. Our first foray into lagered beers, Blue Paddle Pilsener-Lager, is a Czech style pilsener with a refreshing crispness from noble hops and a rich, malty finish. ‘Blue Paddle’ refers to the implement our warehouse manager’s Grandma once used to lovingly paddle his a** when she caught him stealing sips of her beer. With more body than a traditional Belgian pils, Blue Paddle is reflective of Europe’s finest pilseners.

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet citrusy. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus and malt, leading to a slightly bitter finish. The body is light.

33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Slight fruity hops nose. Fruity flavour, very mild and refreshing. Slight bitterness in the finish but mainly with a persisting light fruit note. Nice.

Golden coloured. Vague hop aroma. Slightly malty, slightly dryish. Probably wouldn’t make a list of the top 1000 pilseners in Germany.

Golden colour with a soft sparkle. Well-balanced aroma with herbal hops and fresh bread. The soft body is accented towards the malts, which unfortunately don’t come off with the same fresh expressiveness that they do in the aroma. More like dull, day-old bread. There is some hoppy crispness in the finish to salvage things a bit.

Light, hazy blond color. Light aroma, but with some hop, and light fruitness. The flavor as well is not bad: light mouthfeel, dry, with light crispy malt and the hopping is quite good.

Draught at Cricket’s Grill, Waco, 2006-12-22, 4-2-5-3-11=25
Hazy blond color. Poor aroma. The flavor is ok, with some malt, but very simple. The bitterness is medium high. Ordinary Lager.

Clear straw body. Aroma is light sweet, tart, cheese. Taste is faint sweet, lemon, cheese, finishing lightly grassy. Light/medium body.
